This point has often been brought forward to a discussion.

Is it not so that if IANTD/TDI or whoever in the _course program_ states 
something, you are obliged to follow it? If you do are not you are 
violating standards.

So if the course program prescribes substandard procedures/knowledge, the 
instructor can:
1) Do as (s)he likes with risk of repercussions from the agency (as if THAT 
would happen, but anyway...)
2) Follow the - often shitty - standards (and contribute to the death toll)
3) Find another training agency.

Instructors! The choice is yours...
